Tea? (Part 4)

[IDMark2]

I meant to say 'Congrats' to Ms IDMark2 on her retirement from one following suit.

On her behalf, thank you. The only difference to how her night went when we got home is that she wasn't the one putting the bins out, herself being safely ensconsed on the sofa, snoring the sleep of the purely peed on Prosecco...

 

[IDMark2]

One for your 'too exciting to be Mundane' thread...

[172traindriver]

No chance...

Junior is home from her sleepover @ the Outlaws & her indoors is giving me a new chore to do every time I look like sitting down.

That will teach you

 

[IDMark2]

and why not? she has retired from housework et al

Yes, about five years ago. That's why this place is sparkling and I'm a saint. (Until I speak or otherwise draw attention to myself)

Off to the pub shortly for lunch with my youngest daughter... <hic>

Your daughter is gorgeous.

No hang on a minute, is that you?

 

[stephec]

Err, no.
For some reason, don't ask, I don't know why, but having had the Yorkshire pudding cooked but not risen last week on a 2 egg mixture, he decided a 3 egg mixture was needed this week. So with them having started to rise and still looking anaemic took them out of the oven and served them this week after they had been in the oven for the same time. Needless to say the result was that I picked at what was cooked and left the semi cooked like warm mess that was the rest. The instructions clearly say a 1 egg mixture does 4 small puddings, do why he thought a 3 egg mixture would work for 2 pudding bowls that had less volume than 2 lots of 4 time is just beyond me. He had it right LST week, I just don't think the oil was hot enough and they were not left in long enough on the 2 egg cooked version he did last week.

I don't think he gets that the oil is meant to be spitting hot and the Yorkshire pudding tops just starting to burn or at least be dark brown... Can't say anything at the moment because he is really tired and down. I think he is beginning to realise I may not be going to get better than I am now and right now that's not great.

His birthday cards were meet with less than enthusiasm and I got a weak thank you for the present. It's hard on both of us. Just writing this is making me cry again.

He needs to call on the services of Aunt Bessie, as I did this afternoon.

I'm allergic to dairy. All dairy, so they have to be homemade!
What he really needs is his wife's advice, but he won't ask for it!

Finally found out why he is down in the dumps. We usually are on holiday in Scotland as @Mo1959 knows all to well at this time of year... obviously because of me we are not, but he doesn't want to say anything in case I take it the wrong way... so is just really down and depressed. Not helped by family giving him cards with mountains and bikes on them... but he won't talk to me about it so instead literally says nothing to me, as in not talking to me full stop...

That sounds like he's got your best interests at heart there.

He might not have wanted to mention it in case it looked as if he was blaming you for it.

Have you tried the old, "this time last year," kind of opening line about it?
